Trump Transition Team Adds Tech Execs

Silicon Valley investor and entrepreneur Peter Thiel is continuing to put his stamp on the presidential transition with appointments of two associates to help in that effort, according to a person close to the transition effort. Mark Woolway, the Vice President of Corporate Development at health benefits broker Zenefits, and Kevin Harrington, a managing director at Thiel Capital, will join so-called “landing teams” charged with identifying policy priorities and hiring key people into executive-branch departments. Woolway is set to join the landing team at the Treasury Department and Harrington the team at the Commerce Department.
